This political cartoon’s issue is regarding the domination of Hawaii. The message of this cartoon is that, like political cartoon #5, America is too dominant when it comes to taking over other countries. Some others however, might think that, as I said in cartoon #5, America shouldn’t be any less dominant than they are right now. Some techniques used in this cartoon are symbolism and exaggeration. Uncle Sam, as a boy in the cartoon, represents America trying to catch the sugar plum which represents Hawaii’s island. Young Uncle Sam’s size is an exaggeration of America’s power. This cartoon does not support my idea on no Anti-Imperialism. Think about it though. America was a powerful country to begin with and nothing ever stands in our way.
